1*2AWG or
5.6KW 28 6.4 42.7 2~ 3 Nm
2*6AWG
WARNING: Be sure the length of all battery cables is the same. Otherwise, there
will be voltage difference between inverter and battery to cause parallel inverters not working.

Recommended AC input and output cable size for each inverter:


Model AWG no. Torque
3.6KW 12 AWG 1.2~1.6Nm
5.6KW 10 AWG 1.2~1.6Nm

You need to connect the cables of each inverter together. Take the battery cables for example: You need to use
a connector or bus-bar as a joint to connect the battery cables together, and then connect to the battery
terminal. The cable size used from joint to battery should be X times cable size in the tables above. “X” indicates
the number of inverters connected in parallel.
Regarding AC input and output, please also follow the same principle.

WARNING!! Make sure all output N wires of each inverter must be connected all the time. Otherwise, it will
cause inverter fault in error code #72.

CAUTION!! Please install the breaker at the battery and AC input side. This will ensure the inverter can be
securely disconnected during maintenance and fully protected from over current of battery or AC input. The
recommended mounted location of the breakers is shown in the figures in 5-1 and 5-2.
